Asking for some help from science communication & public engagement folks! STEM for a Queer Youth is a project which involves LGBTQ+ scientists sharing their careers and running activities at a LGBTQ+ youth group. This project finished a 2 year pilot and I am looking to share it across the sector.

Ice sheets are so large their gravity raises nearby sea levels, causing a slight bulge as water is drawn to the sheet

How can scientists best communicate their expertise to policy-makers? Learn how science can support evidence-based policy by answering EU consultations, in this #Science4Policy I'll be hosting next week! #SciComm #ScienceForPolicy

Me: a lot of people are surprised l have ADHD because they only know the stereotypes and miss my other characteristics Friend: ...and all the stereotypical ones too!

Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

oh ok new pope

I can't abide when scientists say that we need "help from teenagers" to make scientific content on social media Science communicators exist! A whole profession with talented people, already on social media creating engaging the scientific content. Connect with us

Art prompt: draw your science as a fantasy map Mixing my river science background with the local folklore of Yorkshire. Sketch. Pen on paper. Thanks @geologytalk.bsky.social for inspiration. #SciArt #EGU25

our #egu25 neurodiversity network event filled my heart the uplift from hearing similar experiences, that you're not alone; the will to support & create together was incredibly motivating. Find your people.

kind reminder to mute yourself when joining an online meeting someone flushed the toilet during our short course this morning

Finally heading to #EGU25 - Europe's largest geoscience meeting with ~20k scientists I'll be convening a couple of symposia on #Science4Policy + Fieldwork inclusivity, #SciComm + careers short courses, a neurodiversity + #EarlyCareer networking events & more ! Say hello 😁 #TrainToEGU #EGU

Next week's #EGU25 programme has some really exciting #Science4Policy sessions that will help participants learn about how they can engage with policy! Below are just a few highlights for you to add to your personal programme ✨🧡!

Hey #SciSky - I'm pulling together examples of attacks on science & academic freedom in Europe for some colleagues There's probably many happening beyond what I'm aware of, so I'd be grateful for examples!
